Career Counseling & Exploration
At SCC, Career Exploration and decision making is a process that takes reflection, research, actions, and resources.
Tools for your Career Exploration Journey:
-
The process of choosing a major or career often begins with assessment. Students should first take the Career Coach 60 questions Assessment, and schedule an appointment to discuss your results with a career counselor.
-
Complete the PEAK Values Inventory to gain insight into what is important to you with your work and life values, and use it as a tool to help you narrow down different careers you researched using Career Coach. You can find the PEAK Values Inventory Worksheet and other tools on our Career and Self-Assessment Tools page.
-
After narrowing down your options, consider conducting an Informational Interview with someone in your potential career field, doing more research about your chosen career using O*Net and YouTube, pursuing a job shadowing, internship, or Work-Based Learning experience, or meeting with a career counselor to learn about other options.
View our recorded presentation "Deciding on a Career" to learn how all of these tools help you in your Career Exploration Journey.
